The question is whether or not an efficient algorithm exists by which to determine whether or not two given graphs are isomorphic, that is, whether nodes can be mapped from one to the other without vi
The chapters in this volume cover all aspects of shock-compression science. Each is by a leading researcher in the field and provides a fundamental review as well as an introduction to current resear
vi the text can engender. Of course, translations by scholars of advanced standing are not a novelty in modern scholarship. The Plenum translations ofVygotsky' s texts are appearing at a moment when a
Edited by Daniel Goroff, Harvard University This English-language edition of Poincare's landmark work is of interest not only to historians of science, but also to mathematicians. Beginning from an in
Green (mechanical engineering, U. of Florida) and a small group of colleagues defy the prevailing approach to dealing with the pollution problem associated with burning medical waste, by advocating pr
This book presents the latest developments in structural dynamics with particular emphasis on the formulation of equations of motion by finite element methods and their solution using microcomputers.T
A broad preparation in elementary geometry for use by high school students or as a text for preservice or in-service teachers of elementary geometry. The basic strategy is to develop the fundamental c
These essays (non-technical), written since the end of WWII by the eminent physicist and outspoken advocate of nuclear disarmament, focus on weapons research, arms control, and nuclear power (of which
The gratifying response to Counterexamples in analysis (CEA) was followed, when the book went out of print, by expressions of dismay from those who were unable to acquire it. The connection of the pre
Summarizes the results of modern research in the theory of automatic control, which can be used to solve many theoretical problems of controlling systems defined by the equations of quantum physics. A
A textbook for anyone who has a passing acquaintance with procedural languages, such as BASIC or Pascal, but who has not met a functional language like Lisp before. In addition to providing a step-by-
Spatial econometrics deals with spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity, critical aspects of the data used by regional scientists. These characteristics may cause standard econometric techniques
"Cancer viruses" have played a paradoxical role in the history of cancer research. Discovered in 1911 by Peyton Rous (1) at the Rockefeller Institute, they were largely ignored for several d
In many contexts of everyday life we find ourselves faced with the problem of reconciling the views of several persons. These problems are usually solved by resorting to some opinion aggre- gating pro
In the two decades since its inception by L. Zadeh, the theory of fuzzy sets has matured into a wide-ranging collection of concepts, models, and tech- niques for dealing with complex phenomena which d
The two chapters of this book originally appeared in "Air- Sea Exchange of Gases and Particles", edited by P.S. Liss and W.G.N. Slinn. We wrote them as a general introduction to the physical processes
This book arose from a course of lectures given by the first author during the winter term 1977/1978 at the University of Munster (West Germany). The course was primarily addressed to future high scho
The problem of finding minimal surfaces, i. e. of finding the surface of least area among those bounded by a given curve, was one of the first considered after the foundation of the calculus of variat
The scattering of acoustic and electromagnetic waves by periodic sur- faces plays a role in many areas of applied physics and engineering. Opti- cal diffraction gratings date from the nineteenth centu
The equations which we are going to study in these notes were first presented in 1963 by E. N. Lorenz. They define a three-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations that depends on three r
This textbook, written by a dedicated and successful pedagogue who developed the present undergraduate algebra course at Moscow State University, differs in several respects from other algebra textboo
This is an introduction to optimal control theory for systems governed by vector ordinary differential equations, up to and including a proof of the Pontryagin Maximum Principle. Though the subject is
In this book we hope to acquaint the reader with the fundamentals of truth- conditional model-theoretic semantics, and in particular with a version of this developed by Richard Montague in a series of
This introductory text develops the geometry of n-dimensional oriented surfaces in Rn+1. By viewing such surfaces as level sets of smooth functions, the author is able to introduce global ideas early
This monograph is a collective work. The names appear- ing on the front cover are those of the people who worked on every chapter. But the contributions of others were also very important: C. Risito f
The selections contained in these volumes from the papers and letters of Leibniz are intended to serve the student in two ways: first, by providing a more adequate and balanced conception of the full

Apreface is best written last, after a book is done and its author may look back to survey what he hopes he has accomplished and what he must admit he has not. In hindsight virginity by itself has see
I first became interested in De dialectica in 1966, while I was doing re- search on Augustine's knowledge of logic. At the time I made a transla- tion of the Maurist text and included it as an appendi
Milic Capek has devoted his scholarship to the history and philosophy of modern physics. With impeccable care, he has mastered the epistemologi- cal and scientific developments by working through the
The evolution of logistics networks during the last decades can be characterized by a strong rationalization of business processes. This ongoing rationalization has led to a constant search for econom
This book offers an integrated introduction to the topic of stability and vibration. Strikingly, it describes stability as a function of boundary conditions and eigenfrequency as a function of both b
This book explores the human rights consequences of the new mercenarism, as channeled through so-called private military and security companies (PMSCs), and offers an overview of the evolution and sta

This volume is about ultra high-speed cameras, which enable us to see what we normally do not see. These are objects that are moving very fast, or that we just ignore. Ultra high-speed cameras invite
This book reports on the EU-funded 7th Framework project, Go4Hybrid (Grey Area Mitigation for Hybrid RANS-LES Methods). It presents new findings concerning the accuracy and reliability of current hybr
